I want to send out a huge thanks to Amy Moffitt and Julian Pavett for all of their awesome backgrounds, and Phil Williams for his music.
And finally, watch it in high def for all the awesome.

Showreel 2011
Here's my latest Showreel. Its been quite a while since I posted anything on here but I'm sure there will be much more content now that everything is done and dusted.
I'll be posting my film soon, so keep an eye out for that.
Enjoy.
Also here's my Ultimate Image from our business module. This became the design for the back of my business cards.
Wham Bam Thankyou Ma'am
A sneak peek is well overdue. I'm really happy with some of the stuff that I've been working on recently and wanted to give you all a little preview.
The shots like this are what keep me going.
Also, this is one of the tamer shots, so I can only apologise in advance to anyone who may get a bit grossed out when they see the film.
Bubblegum Girl Animatic
Bubblegum Girl Animatic 2 from Darren Findlay on Vimeo.
This is my current working animatic for Bubblegum Girl. It's still very rough but it was mainly to time things out and try out tone within the scenes.
There are a few still images in there towards the end, as there's some bits I want to be able to reveal with the final film rather than spoil all the fun ahead of time.
Blue Bubblegum
This is another one of the random down time doodles I did last night. I wanted to try drawing Bubblegum Girl looking a bit less cartoony, but bendy limbs are always cartoony, so let's just imagine this is her prior to the kidnapping/gruesome experimentation.
Layouts 2.0
These are some more of my layouts, my plan is to be finished with them by the end of the week so I can be animating by Monday.
The Big Bad Boss' Desk
The City
Alleyway End
Alleyway Estab
Some Bendy Trees
Layouts
It's been quite a while since I managed to get any work on here, I'm drowning in layouts this week, its a nice change from bendy people though and it means I have some proof that my film might actually get done.
These are some of the Layouts I have cleaned up so far, they all still need extra tweaks but hopefully you can tell what they are. Amy has even coloured some of them
for me so you should probably make your way over to her blog and check them out!
The Big Bad Boss' Tower Temple
A City Rooftop
The Long Alleyway
The Big Bad Boss' Desk with Melty Candles
Second City Rooftop
Over Sized and Rather Tight Apparel
These should be the last two bits I do. I managed to churn out quite a few drawings today so I may colour the rest over the next week or so.
The Blues
It's been a while since I put anything on here, I have lots of excuses that I'm sure don't apply realy. I did experience a major laptop meltdown a few days after xmas which took away most of my opportunities to upload work, and the Pre-Production hand is is rather imminent which is daunting and a bit of a blessing as it will finally be time to animate!
Anyway, here's some blue flavoured Bubblegum Girl, it had been a while since I'd done any original work, all of my time this week has been spent going through old drawings and laying them up all pretty and stuff.
Kicky Facey Splatty
It's been a while since I've managed to post anything new, and today is no exception as I dug up some old work to colour. I'm still in merry old England, so I haven't been very productive as of yet. I'm sure when I get back to Cardiff I'll be working around the clock so I'm going to take full advantage of the work void coming up over the next few days.
Sketches
I've been drawing bits and bobs throughout the week, but nothing realy substantial. I've got some coloured poses of the BigBadBoss im doing so I'll post them soon, but I've been far too busy trying to stay warm and watching a bajillion films.
Strutting
I was doing some pose bits and this managed to be my favourite, so it made its way here. I realy need to sort all the little things out before xmas but I'm far too exited about Santa to do any real work!
Robo-Carnage (may have just occurred)
This was an old drawing I had done in the Summer when I was figuring out what I was going to do for my 3rd year film. I cleaned it up and changed some bits today. She was a bit short originally and was throwing away a baseball bat after beating up some goons. I'm trying to find a bold colour scheme for Bubblegum Girl and I think this is a good direction, but that may be the beer talking.
Turnarounds, Baah Humbug
I've never liked doing turnarounds, I can't think in 3 dimensions, it's not right. I need to get used to drawing with a tablet rather than just using it to colour so these were really roughly scribbled on paper, a couple of positions for each character and I then cleaned everything in Photoshop.
Glo-bots
She's fighting robots! I spent much of today planning the one shot fight scene. and decided early on that rather than have a stealthy swat team take on Bubblegum Girl, it should be robots. This means they can be decapitated and torn limb from limb.
The main reason I'm posting this is because its glowy..
Odd Bits
These are some of the bits and pieces I was working on today.I'v got some more pages of scribbles working out some possible fight shots, but I wanted to get them sorted and clean before I post anything major.
I'm getting a lot closer to having the characters finalised and I'll work on their turnarounds soon. My main priority is the fight scenes as I'd like to have something new for the sweatbox.
Lots to do before January.
Bendy Colours
After three weeks of After Effects it's time to dive straight back into pre production. I spent most of today drawing Bubblegum Girl, with the odd scribble of the Big Bad Boss, but I came away with about 20 pages of drawings. I'll post some more of those when they're a bit cleaned up, but for now we have a Bubblegum Girl Rainbow!
